«  A megaswitch and it's perfect »

Series 25me birthday, a beautiful neon pink ... but must take it throws!
Indonesia, wizard sleeve 3 3pces 24cases jumbo frets, rosewood or similar.
Typical basswood body, pickguard and hsh screwed over. Volume (without the magic capacitor) and tone. Jack standard, always better if something goes wrong.
Vibrato knife edge and double locking tuners finer, nothing unknown. Back against it by artillery zps, a detachable tremlock. What is it? Off this is the classic floating tremolo, great for very nervous meowing.
Engaged there is always the vibrato function but once past a hard point, it's not bad at all just takes getting used to. In this mode you can Pèter a rope and nothing goes out of tune, so it's more a sacred concert.

Pickups infinity 3et4 ceramics plus a single in the middle, as in wired steve vai and I do not like at all because the potential is much larger microphones.

UTILIZATION

The handle is more consistent than the wizard 2, it is constant in the radius in the palm and so much the better. It is still as wide and flat as 2.
Perfect ergonomics standing as sitting, volume well placed, easy rod to be paid vibrato, it's great except for the-saddle bridges that require an allen key.
Contoured Heel, no plate mr DIY the fender here is smoothly and it's serious.
The average weight (heavier than my rg421mol which has no vibrato) and very well staffed.
In fact you can play a long time without fatigue with this machine, it is very well thought out. Yapuka!

SOUNDS

Connecting, do you. What is striking is the savagery of the pickup, it is fast and rough, well-defined, ideal for sending heavier.
The neck pickup is it softer (barely) and well defined (no sound distortion slurry).
Simple medium alone is not bad, quite powerful and well shut.
Positions 2 and 4 are vomiting, quack and unintelligible. The reason is that while the internal coils are activated double, to do the opposite.
So as it is usable 3 positions, one with full of parasites.

Megaswitch for serious side reel handle only 2, two double set 3, and side handle coils humbuckers 4. There is great and varied, and I get the middle pickup for another project on the way.

OVERALL OPINION

These Ibanez pickups have nothing to envy to dm / sd, they are even better splitted which is uncommon. This seller is less in the pub on the other hand ...

A great guitar finally inexpensively and very original.

There is something very successful behind this concept, an alchemy that makes the row reference for ages.

The wiring used by ibanez rg its / s with two double and much more interesting and useful pickups than type vai.

My only regret is that I failed to catch the reactivity of fluorescent green saber series birthday!
Therefore a good buy, and so what if the edge finishing frets my request a copy tweaking to be comfortable.
